Welcome jb, you're in reloading since about the same time as I started...
All those bullets should do you well.
For the 120 class in addition to the 8208xbr of 1shot I use AR-comp a lot in them, they load and shoot well for me in 16" and 20", and my 22" ruger presator.
If by chance you run into problems with Lee dies (several on here have run into that), you might think about the Hornady dies, again, nice price point and very practical. Rcbs may have some by now (I use a lot of rcbs but the Grendel's are hornady).
And hornady brass is fine to use, watch your shoulder setbacks - don't go any farther than you need to, around 0.004 or so. I say this b/c some chambers leave the brass a bit stretched after the shot (they are longer than other, shorter ones) so be mindful of whatever your specific chamber is; you won't need to go back to "factory" lengths, just stay around the ~0.004 shorter than your chamber, the brass will last longer that way.
